Selected Test Results

What works

Installation, basic gameplay, except you can't skip the "galactic briefing" at the beginning of the game play. You need to either start the game in window mode (via -w) or change your resolution to 640x480, or else the game will launch in a small corner of the screen.

What does not

Without a native d3drm.dll, tactical battle mode would not even start. After getting a native d3drm.dll as described in the comments, battle mode would try to start, but would fail much like the last reporter: lots of flickering audio/video, the battle field and most of the controls are not actually visible. Also I got an error message in a pop-up window: "The pixel format was invalid as specified" with an OK button. Clicking OK puts you back in battle mode, but it eventually fails out with some error output at the console.

I mostly wanted to make sure there was a current report with a more current version of wine. Also I only think this qualifies as "Bronze" since battle mode is half the game for me, and at least counts as "normal use."

Workarounds

What was not tested

Tactical battle mode. I also did not attempt multiplayer mode.

HowTo / Notes

Ireland/UK Users Note

This game in the Irish/UK markets is called Star Wars : Supremacy

HOWTO: skip unskippable briefing

If you'd rather skip the minutes long briefing when you start a new game, go into the directory and rename the following;

albrief.dll
embrief.dll

This will skip the briefing. Enjoy.

Current error messages

So I've been trying to get tactical battle mode to work (just sent in a new test result with 1.1.8), and so far have gotten windows native DLLs for d3drm and d3dxof. The battle mode will start up fine, except that I can't see the ships or the starfield. As soon as I unpause the battle or try to click anywhere in the starfield, the game crashes. As near as I can tell, these the most relevant error message in the console:

Try using the methods described for d3drm.dll native by users of Emperor: Battle for Dune

appdb.winehq.org/appview.php?iVersionId=4179&iTestingId=1401

Place a native version of windows d3drm.dll in the game folder or /windows/system32 and test to see if the game is playable in tactical mode.

I tried downloading this d3drm.dll file online and placed it in /windows/system32. There already was a file there so I just made a backup of the existing one and put the new one in. Upon arriving at tactical mode, I get an error saying "The pixel format was invalid as specified.". Perhaps the DLL is the wrong type/version?

Hope this helps in the debug process. Cheers.

Running with -w
by Michael Cugini on Saturday March 3rd 2007, 1:17

My installation went smoothly, but like was mentioned before, I had to manually change the screen resolution. Another option is to run with the option -w, running it in windowed mode. All the icons were the proper color by doing so.

game works but no text... :S
by David St-Hilaire on Thursday April 27th 2006, 18:19

The installation worked fine. As for running the game, well everything looks fine but I don't see any text in game (ex: char stats). So it works but still cannot be played without the text...

Also, it seems that I can't pass the annoying speech of the beggining of the game...

Anyone has insights on solving theses issues?

Thanks :D

With skipping the opening speeches, I found that I could not do that on Windows 2000 (the Microsoft version ;), so Wine is not alone in this problem.

I think the problem with not being able to skip the beginning speech is resolved with the patch.

However, I can't confirm this because when I tried running the patch I got an error. :/
